Pros:

Gentillesse du personnel. Très bonne nourriture. Grande chambre propre.
Notre vol ayant été annulé, le personnel s'est plié en quatre pour nous aider. Nous y avons séjourné 2 jous avant notre safari et 2 jours après et avons pu laisser gratuitement nos bagages sur place.

Het verblijf was heel kort, binnen 1 uur waren we weg.
Pros:

Personeel was vriendelijk en behulpzaam om naar een oplossing te zoeken.

Cons:

De kamer was absoluut niet zoals wij verwacht hadden. Kamer rook muf. Geen airco. Klamboe vies. Vaal groen kleedje voor het raam als gordijn. Kortom, absoluut niet wat wij verwacht hadden en waar de veel te hoge waardering vandaan komt is een raadsel. We zijn uiteindelijk vertrokken naar een ander hotel.

Preis Leistung stimmt für dieses Haus überhaupt nicht ..55$ pro Nacht …da hab ich ihn Arusha schon viel besser und günst
Pros:

Bequeme Betten und Moskitonetz

Cons:

Wollte nach 6 Tagen am Pool etwas entspannen , Pool war total verdreckt und eckelig - Wasser ganz trüb, und Poolbereixh mit Liegen ebenso , die Handtücher waren steif und rauh wie Schmiergelpapier und hatten Löcher, ebenso die Vorhänge schmutzig und löchrig, alter lauter Standventilator kein Deckenfan

Bon séjour avec un bon rapport qualité prix mention excellente pour le staff !
Pros:

Le global; le personnel accueillant et chaleureux; le service

Cons:

La chambre fait un peu old School , porte de la chambre pas très sécurisante, salle de bain modeste. Les jalousies (fenêtres) de la chambre ne se ferment pas; la proximité des chambres fait que lorsqu’un voisin fume sur l’espace détente devant la chambre, ça sent le tabac dans sa propre chambre (il
Serait préférable d’interdire de fumer dans ces espaces)
